Games keep crashing...

[Jtromme]

I just built my new pc recently, 5800x and a 3070, and every time I boot up Rust to play my computer just shuts down. I'll be on a server for around 5 minutes, and then my computer completely crashes. Can anyone help??

Have you checked to confirm that the motherboard has a BIOS version 100% compatible with a 5xxx series CPU?

I have not. Since I got a post I never bothered with bios updates.

POST & booting to desktop doesn't really stress a CPU much, but gaming will... always worth checking.

what is your board chipset? 450 and 470 will work with a beta bios and 500 series should be out of the box ready

Zen 3 (5000-series) BIOSes for 400-series chipsets are due to be released later this month

how are thermals and cpu/gpu usage looking during the game? you have all right drivers installed? your psu is running 115v? (if theres that switch on the back)

That 'should be OK', but it may be worth checking for a slightly newer version if the 'board you have is a very early production unit.

Yes; but it'll be a one-way write if you update it for 5000-series.

HWINFO64 would be better to check thermals... afterburner is for GPU overclocking.

Can you link that please?

Once you update to 5000-series BIOS, you can't go back to an earlier (3000-series) version.

is that a problem? these things are backward-compatible arent they?

This won't be...it's been made a lot of over the release of the 5000-series CPU's, when AMD first said that 450/70 would NOT support 5000-series CPU's... then AMD back-tracked & said they'll support them... at a price (non-reversible BIOS update).

 

Might be an issue if you want to flip the board, later & someone tries to use a 3000-series CPU on it.
